But if I do take it to a wash place it should be either touch less or hand wash right? I heard the automatic ones with brushes do the swirls on the paint

Yeah touch less only car washes if you do the automatic carwash. I use the car washes where you wash it your self with the sprayer if I don't do it home.

Any wash with brushes or the hanging strips should be avoided at all costs.

Opticoat, touch less washday: light soap, pressure wash for about 5 minutes, air dry by driving. Done. People think my car is brand new despite being 2 years old

It'll usually run around 300-500 including a detail depending on how much paint correction needs to be done

Has anyone lower their car by 1.4 inch? Any Pics?
Can't decide between the Eibach Pro-Kit or Sportline.

Thanks.

Anyone regret getting a series.blue because it attracts too much attention?

LOL I have had guys hanging out of the drive-through window at Arby's to get a better look at it.

Attracting attention isnt too bad as long as all they are doing is looking and not looking to boost it.

Nope! Still 'anxious' at times parking it anywhere but my garage when I'm out and about, but the anxiety has been well worth it. Love seeing heads snap...first car I've ever owned that does that.

I am in the market for a series.blue because it comes with all the mods I would be interested in (frameless mirror, sti pushstart, aerokit). I am just nervous that it will attract too much attention (thanks to its red calipers) for an even "faster" look. FML.

Which just means people wanting to race you, people calling it a fake sports car etc, people wanting to steal it, people wanting to harm it in parking lots is just going to increase astronomically.

2015 Series.Blue BRZ

Depending on where you live will affect those concerns.

I have not had anyone wanting to race or calling ita fake race car.
